Great anticipations had been aroused
in regard to the production of this
sprightly little musical sketch, and
these anticipations were more than re-
allied in its presentation last Monday
evening. Perfection marked every
feature of the piece. One is at a loss
for words to do justice to each partici-
pant, for individ ually and collectively
they attained the full possibilities of
the parts they were called upon to
portray, and fully merited the tokens
of appreciation that were accorded.
The music and singing proved as fas-
cinating as we had been led to believe
they would be, In the.cast Miss Ethel
Grant is entitled to first mention for
her easy and uneXaggerated portrayal
Of the French governess, and the rem
dering of her song An vat is love :"
took the audience by storm, and its
repetition was demanded. Miss Thurs.
ton as Cinderella and Miss Mckelvey
and Miss Wilmot as the two spiteful
sisters are deserving of unstinted praise
for their representations they sang
their music with the requisite express
sion, especially in the trio, which had
to be repeated. Mrs. Bigelow as the
Elocution Mistress, and Mrs. J. Will
loughby as Principal of the School
were very amusing, both vocally and
otherwise, and provoked roars of
laughter: Miss May Rollins was very
J pleasing as the fairy godmother and
sang her song with great acceptance,
! which met, as it merited, a vigorous
encore. Miss Annie Willoughby as the
| Prince, Miss ManSur, Miss Stevens and
Miss White met all the requirements
of their parts. The young ladies all
gave evidence of careful and artistic
training, and several among them of
decided musical talent. Mrs. Cause
brook, we'll known as thorough and
capable music teacher, is entitled to
great credit for the success which the
piece achieved We know that she
has been painstaking and untiring in
her efforts to make it success, and
she may we'll be proud of the result.
On Tuesday evening the piece was
repeated, with Miss Nellie Guertin as
the French governess, the rest of the
cast remaining as on the previous
evening, and it lost none of it's popu-
larity BIZ repetition. Miss Guertin re-
newed the favorable impression Gre
. ated by her appearance here some
time ago, and gave a very piquant
and spirited embodiment of her part
She was twice recalled and in response
greatly delighted the audience by
singing French song, Ia V0iS."
Miss Guertin has never appeared here
to better advantage, and the hearty
reception that was accorded her must
have been as pleasing to her as it was
gratifying to her friends. We must
not forget to mention the orchestral
accompaniment to the singers, for the
fine piano and violin playing by Mrs.
Causebrook and Mr.. Bigelow added
not little to the success of the per-
formances and to the general enjoy
ment.

cided to come here and lecture, which
he did, and was greeted by a good au.
dience, Notwithstanding Colebrook peo-
pie had inserted in their paper notice
purporting to have come from here
that the lecture was postponed. Mr.
Kimball's lecture was very fine, and
delivered with fine effect. The great
decisive battle and its results were de.
picted with a vividnesS and interest
such as only could be given by one
who was there and took part therein.

One of the most successful missions
ever held in Island Pond was con-
cluded last Sunday evening in St.
james Church, over 500 persons being
present. The mission was given by
the Rev. Frs. Gadtes and Museley,
Redemptorist Fathers from Montreal.
Between $50 and 600 confessions were
heard, and out of our Roman Catholic
population but very few failed to
avail themselves of the graces of the
mission. The preaching of the mis-.
sionary Fathers was very effective,
and produced a profound impression.
Among the fruits of their labors may
be mentioned large accessions to the
Sodalities and the society OF the Chill
dren of Mary. FIR. Trottier, the pastor,
is to be congrat ulated on the results
of the mission.

A Strange Sect.

One of the strangest Of religious sects is
that which calls itself the New and Latter
House Of Israel. Its headquarters are in
Chatham, England, in which town its
deyotees are building an immense temple
which will cost $3.50, 900. They believe
that they will not die, and that they are
the remnant Of true Israelities who will
reign with Christ for a thousand years.
Their founder was a man called Jesriel,
who Ia now dead. His death was a great
shock TO the believers, but his wife claimed
that IL was an accident and declared her
self to be his successor.
